Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Wings: In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.

    Add the Wings: Place the chicken wings in the bowl with the marinade. Toss them thoroughly to ensure they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

      Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, create a two-zone fire—one side for direct heat and one for indirect heat.

        Grill the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the wings on the grill over direct heat. Grill for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are beautifully charred and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

          Drizzle for Flavor: Once grilled, transfer the wings to a large bowl. Lightly drizzle additional honey-lime dressing over the wings while they’re still hot, ensuring a flavorful glaze.

            Serve: Plate the wings and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zing.
